The second ballet in John McCabe’s diptych based on the legend of Arthur. Mordred and Morgan’s continued determination to wreak vengeance on Arthur lead gradually to the battle of Camlann. Mordred and Arthur inflict mortal wounds on each other and Arthur’s body is rowed to the legendary island of Lyonesse.

No-one could say Mallory's Morte d'Arthur leaps from page to stage, and the sheer clarity of [choreographer David] Bintley's storytelling is remarkable…John McCabe's score is such a vast, sustained achievement, five hours of muscular music ranging from virtually every tonal style of the past 80 years, that it begs several more listenings.
